We're All Gonna Live

[couchgrouch]

We're All Gonna LiveAll leaves fade..all roses die,some say that's an alibito do what heaven won't forgivebut we must walk honest ways,cos if only for todaywe're all gonna livesome avoid lovers and friends,they know all love sees an endthat's just the way life isbut loneliness has its cost,life is empty without lossand we're all gonna livethe midnight sky's a diamond minebut some see gold as the greatest giftyet if we value the jewels of timeday by day is how we're gonna livecautious hearts will stand aside,watching others as they ridewasting their days wond'ring what iffor doubting is worse than death, so catch the breeze with each breathcos we're all gonna liveall we own we're bound to lose,some claim that's their excuseto steal what heaven won't forgivebut don't let shadow rule the day,if so, when we pass awaywe're all gonna live(c)2004 Robert George
